1p.
Since 1992, LIFE has contributed to the implementation, updating and development of EU environmental policy and legislationby co-financing pilot or demonstration projects with European added value.
To date, the LIFE programme has co-funded nearly 150 projects that focus on climate change adaptation and some 28 projectsfocused on urban resilience demonstrating the adaptive potential of ‘green infrastructure’, including the ability of green roofsor sustainable urban drainage systems to reduce storm water run-off and the positive effects of requalifying green areas andcreating green belts and corridors in peri-urban areas. In recent years, there has been a noticeable evolution in the scope ofLIFE projects funded, shifting to integrated, ecosystem-based solutions for whole districts or even whole cities by incorporatinggreen and blue infrastructure in local planning as well as creating the collective participation of citizens and local businesses.
